Mohan Bahgwat is the new RSS chief

INDIAN ELECTION NEWS: KS Sudarshan, chief of Rashtriya Swayayamsewak Sangh (RSS), announced his retirement today citing his health reasons. Mohan Bhagwat has succeeded him.

Mohan Bahgwat is the new 'Sar Sangh Chalak' (chief) of the RSS. His appointment comes with an expectation to redefine relations with the BJP at a time when the saffron party is trying hard to come back to power at the Centre.

Mohan Bahgwat has replaced KS Sudarshan who steps down after being at the helm of the Sangh Parivar fountain head for nearly nine long years when there were many ups and downs in its ties with BJP during Atal Bihari Vajpayee's term as Prime Minister of India of the NDA government.

The election of Mohan Bhagwat as ‘Sar Sangh Chalak’ came on the 2nd day of the 3 day RSS conclave that is expected to redefine its relationship with the BJP.

Rajnath Singh, BJP president and Bal Apte, on deputation from RSS, were present on the occasion.

Mohan Bhagwat is now 59 years old and he has good relations with the BJP leadership including L K Advani. Bhagwat was replaced as general secretary by veteran ideologue Suresh Soni. Suresh Soni used to be in the BJP hierarchy a few years ago as a joint general secretary.
